These playable surfaces are inspired by the wooden instrument such as a guitar. With the application of ready-made technology and electronics,the series compresses different methods of sound interaction on a compact form of wooden board.

A previous work – Vibe, is a table like instrument. It was built as a surface for playing sound through a combination of acoustic and digital, playable as guitar and drum. It started as my interest in learning about guitar construction and timbre. There is an important subject in guitar building for searching tone wood alternatives due to scarcity and environmental concern. During an experiment with the materials, I realised the Fibreboard has a good acoustic quality. By attaching strings and tuner, it becomes an alternative form of Guitar.

Soundboards further explored the idea by altering form and methods. Much influenced by the Found N Sound series, each board features unique way of interaction and sound. The builds include method such as light sensor and conductive technology. Like a compressed version of the older works, it focuses more on the alternative form and simplicity.

With the combination of audio system, it is possible to turn into a large performative tool.
